"What Really Makes You Tick?"

10 questions you should ask to yourself: a preparation to self-improvement

Be all you can be, but it's not always in the Army. I often see myself as somewhat contented with my life the way things are, but of course it's hard to think of anything else when there are real issues to be dealt with. Where there is discontent, there is room for improvement whether it is your own perspective or a circumstance you have the ability to change.

Still I aspire for something deeper and more meaningful.

So we're all pelted with problems. Honestly it shouldn't even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks… or can they?

1. What do I really want?
The question of the ages. So many things you want to do with your life and so little time to even go about during the day.

Find something that you are good at can help realize that small step towards improvement. Diligence is the key to know that it is worth it.

2. Should I really change?
Today's generation has taken another level of redefining 'self', or at least that's what the kids are saying. Having four beautiful daughters has taught me that there are far worse things that they could have had than acne or maybe even promiscuity. So how does that fit into your lifestyle?

If history has taught us one thing, it's the life that we have gone through. Try to see if partying Seventies style wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but dancing is part of partying. Watch them applaud after showing them how to really dance than break their bones in break-dancing.

3. What's the bright side in all of this?
With so much is happening around us there seem to be no room for even considering that light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. All that's necessary is to change how we look at it, our perspective. And if it's a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride and see what makes the world go round!

4. Am I comfortable with what I'm doing?
There's always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented.

5. Have I done enough for myself?
Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you'll be able to see and do things you could never imagine doing.

6. Am I happy at where I am today?
It's an unfair question so let it be an answer! You love being a good and loving mom or dad to your kids, then take it up a notch! Your kids will love you forever. The same goes with everyday life!Instead of dwelling on what is making you unhappy, start thinking of what will make you happy and pursue it with gusto.

7. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?
So maybe I don't have an answer to that, but that doesn't mean I can't try it, though. Whether you shape-up, change the way you wear your clothes or hair, or even your attitude towards people, you should always remember it will always be for your own benefit.

8. How much could I have?
I suppose in this case there is no such thing as having too much or too little, but it's more on how badly you really need it. I'd like to have lots of money, no denying that, but the question is that how much are you willing to work for it?

9. What motivates me?
What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the may be the hardest part. It's not like you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by piece.

10. What Really Makes You Tick?
So? What really makes you tick? You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that self-improvement is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want. It all starts with a choice.

Pobody's Nerfect!

3.0 (Win32)">

If you're like most people you've been raised to aim for perfection in everything you do. This is especially drummed into us during school and college, where we're rewarded for getting something perfect, rather than just getting it done. And yet, as I've learned in my business career, aiming for perfection can be downright debilitating to your business and, indeed, your well-being.

It turns out that in many areas of life, the world rewards speed over perfection. This is especially so in business where being the first to provide a solution to an urgent need or problem, usually carries more rewards than being the last to provide the perfect solution.

There are a few reasons for this. The business that is first to launch a product that's good, rather than perfect, also captures the market first. Once such a business has customers, it also gets invaluable customer feedback which can then be used to improve that product. And customer feedback is usually much, much better for improving a product than theorizing about what will make it perfect.

But striving for perfection may not just cause you to be slow in launching a product, it may stop you from launching a product at all. By taking too long to perfect everything, you run the very real risk of spending weeks, months or years in product development, without obtaining any kind of reassuring market feedback that your idea is worth pursuing in the first place. I hate to say it ladies (yes, I'm one too so don't let my name fool you) we are prime examples of this trait!

As such, it's very easy to lose interest and motivation. As the weeks or months drag on, other opportunities can seem much more appealing, leading you to abandon your original product and start working on something else. And if you aim for perfection in this next project, spend months on it, lose interest and abandon it for something else, a vicious cycle ensues where you end up never launching products!

Even if you manage to maintain momentum in your product development efforts and accomplish a product launch, you may still be doing you and your business a disservice. By taking so long in developing and launching a product, you may be effectively reinforcing the idea that every new project involves a long, painful process... which could very well dissuade you from starting further projects!

Meanwhile, you competitors are out there with their good but not perfect products, getting customer feedback, and constantly improving their products, leaving you and your 'perfect' solution for dust.

For all these reasons and more, it's generally the case that in business at least, you're better off getting a product done and in the market place, than making it perfect. And if you want some reassurance, look at Bill Gates! With his first product launch, there were so many flaws in it, you'd hardly recognize that is was Microsoft! He knew, but he got the product out there anyway, made the improvements as the marketing campaign continued. Look where he is now! He knew the importance and wisdom of meeting the need NOW! Perfect later.

Now, let's be clear: not making something perfect does not mean doing something to an average standard. It means aiming to make something good or even great before releasing it, and then striving to make it better and better... rather than trying to make it perfect before releasing it at all. Adopt this process to your product development, product launches, marketing and business in general, and you'll almost certainly reap the rewards, just as Bill Gates did.

What Kind of Spender Are You?

I thought you'd find this interesting.

I just watched a video from multimillionaire, Tim
Sales that revealed what the rich, middle class, and
poor buy on payday.

Let's start off at the bottom of the ladder and work
our way up.

The Poor - On payday, the poor buy stuff. They buy
knick-knacks. They go to flea markets, garage sales
and dollar stores and stock up on cheap stuff. The
walls in their homes are filled with stuff. Their
tabletops are filled with stuff, and their drawers are
packed with stuff. They justify all this stuff by
saying, "It was so cheap, I just had to buy it."

The Middle Class - The middle class buy liabilities.
Liabilities are things that cost you money. They bring
home a nice paycheck each month, but then buy things
like cars, fancy houses, boats and airplanes. All
these liabilities cost money every month. No matter
how much money they make, they spend a bulk of it on
liabilities.

The Rich - The rich buy assets. Assets are things that
make you money. They buy rental properties, investments
and businesses. They buy assets that produce cash so
they can buy more assets that produce more cash and
the cycle continues on indefinitely.

So where do you fit in?

If you're not at the level you want to be, are you
ready to make a move? Are you ready to move up the
ladder and join the wealthy?

Your first step is owning your own business. If
you're ready to start a home based business and
leverage the power of the internet, you can visit

How to Get Ahead Financially if You loose your Job

(or Even if You Don't)

Working from home job opportunities are a hot commodity during times of unemployment. Individuals who work at home have flexibility, reduced work expenses, and expanded opportunity. Finding viable opportunities, however, is a challenge. There are
scams, bait and switch job ads, and positions that pay almost nothing.

But it's not all scams, smoke and mirrors. In the 2001 census 19.8 million Americans indicated their primary place of employment was their own home. And in 2009, I joined them. I make a full time income working in my home office, on my computer.
I must admit that during my own learning curve, I did fall for some of the hype out there but discouraged, I'm not. I look at it as a learning experience as to how NOT to run my business.

If you are considering starting your own home-based business, there are three business models that you should consider. These three models have a past and present record of being very profitable in a short amount of time. This article will save you from wasting time researching home business ideas that aren't profitable. Here are three of the most popular home business models that you should consider:
Before we get into those models, I must emphasize the fact YOU MUST HAVE A PLAN. If you don't have one, you are setting yourself up for failure right from the start. The saying "If you don't have a plan, then you plan to fail" holds true.

1. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing will allow anyone to start making sales online quickly. The number one advantage of this particular home-based business, is the ability to start earning money quickly online without the need of a website. In fact, you don't even need a product to sell. Your job as an affiliate marketer will be to sell other peoples products or services. When the people you refer to the product make a purchase, you get paid a commission. Basically, all you are doing is sending traffic to various product vendors. If you are able to send lots of traffic to a product or service, you have a better chance at making massive profits.

2. Online Auction Business

There are many people who have been able to give up their full-time jobs by being profitable in the online auction business. EBay is the most popular auction website on the Internet and should be the only primary auction website that you deal with. It's also one of the most highly visited websites on the Internet today. Craigslist is another great site to localize your campaigns to specific areas. You can easily use eBay to drive the necessary traffic that will make your home business successful if you decide to participate in this model. This particular model is also one of the quickest and easiest ways to generate massive profits with no out-of-pocket expenses.

3. Information Marketing

This consists of finding a niche and determining rather people are interested in that particular niche. If your research determines that there are a decent amount of people interested, you can create a information product and sell it to them based on their needs or interests. Most information products are digital. This means that your information product can be in the form of a e-book, audio files or video files just to name a few.

Unfortunately, many business owners often find themselves wishing their business could be more successful. The fact is most new business owners lack the knowledge of what it takes to be successful. The following are the top three reasons that home businesses will succeed.

Product
Home businesses who do not do a complete and thorough research of the product they want to sell will fail. In order to be successful, you must choose a product that people want to buy. If you do not have a product that people want to buy, it stands to reason that you will fail. To find a product that people want to buy, do the research and find out what people are buying and what they want. Ask your friends and anyone you know what types of products they would like to buy. Ask people online. Join social networks online and meet more people. The more information you have, you better your chance to choose a product that will sell.
Here is an article I wrote earlier this month on this subject: How to Find a Good product to Promote

Target Market
Once you find a product that people want, you must also understand your target market. Home businesses that are successful will carefully monitor each and every marketing technique to make sure they are reaching their target market. They understand who wants to buy their product and what the best way is to reach those people. If you do not know who your target market is, you must ask yourself who would want to use your product.

Motivation
Home businesses that are run by owners with a lot of motivation and determination will also be successful. If you do not have the determination to succeed and the motivation to make it happen, you might as well not start your own business. Without the motivation and determination, you will lack what it takes to get up in the morning and get the job done. Many people will often find they start out with a lot of motivation and
determination, but find that it lessens as their business gets started. To prevent this from happening to you, give yourself regular days off, as well as rewards for doing a good job. Alot of people I know listen to motivational audios or videos instead of watching TV; people like Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, the movie "The Secret" etc.
